Hi All,
I purcahsed an X-arcade for the sole reason of tearing it apart and using the PCB to interface PC/DC/PS/2 controls into the same control panel. I also have an IPAC -
which is sweet. The X-arcade PCB does its job well.
( I used everything minus the case )
Problem - the wires are way to short and you will have to extend them in a full size cab. Easy.
A helpful hint - set your buttons up for the PS/2 / DC beause not all of those games let you pick which buttons do what, where MAME is totally configuable in terms of buttons. For example if you use the eight button config
2 rows of 4 buttons then
b5 = L2 b6 = square b7 = triangleb8 = R2
b1 = L1 b2= X b3 = O --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type-- = R1
Yes you will have to set your buttons up in MAME but that is simple. Hope this helps. Also I like the standard happ horizontal buttons, not the Xarcade buttons.
Have fun,
